Mrs.Medin,Is the best Teacher ever.She makes math so easy and understandable.There is no need to cheat.She teaches the class so well,that you begin to like math because you know how to do it. Thank You Mrs.Medin if you read this Iappreciate your help.
Very nice and understanding. Looks out for students best interests. Highly recommended. HOT!
Good delivery and clear, it doesn't hurt she is pretty damn fine.
First math class i took in college. Great teacher!! Never got lower than a B on any test. Final grade was an A+. I passed with a 95%! Very clear, makes material very understandable. Just pay attention and ask questions.
Great lecturer, and nice body
cool teacher.. easy to understand.... look out for the thong
I dropped her class just because I didn't like her teaching style. She basically drills you endlessly on problems that she has on the overhead. But a very nice teacher
Sheila is my all time favorite teacher. She taught me that it WAS possible to learn Math, she's always there for help. I highly recommend bith her as well as her husband!!!
she seems really nice and easy to talk to. The thing I hated was how she taught-she used an overhead projector and after working 8hrs on the comp you feel blind. Also taught new material before giving test on old one.
she is hot...i would do her...=)
I am very impressed with Medin, She is passionate about her teaching. Very hard but she goes over it again and again until everyone gets it. But one thing... Medin, will 5 mins early really hurt?????
good teacher, but goes fast and teaching technics can be second guessed
sheila is great, yeah she drills you with work yet that is the way i learned and held it in, she is really good, and yeah... watch out for the thong.
Very organized, explains well, gives lot of examples. She covers the material well. Put in your time and you should do fine. I studied a lot and got a B. It helps when you practice the homework assigned.
she is a really good teacher i would definately take her again. she makes sure u understand the material.
She was great! Everything was easy to understand and she had no problem going back if you needed clarification. Wonderful teacher!
Sheila is a great teacher. Take her or Mr.Andrew Medin they both are great. The Only thing with Sheila is that she never lets you out early. She could be done with her lecture 25min before class ends and the rest of the time she gives examples.
Sheila Medin is a wonderful teacher. Math was my worst subject, but because of her she actually made me love Math. She is effective, she listens, and is overall the BEST teacher ever! Real****! She is the dopest!
Similar to her husband another great teacher. She goes out of her way to help and make sure you understand the material. Come to class and get a great grade.
GREAT TEACHER SHE IS GOOD, VERY SERIOUS ABOUT WHAT SHE DOES. DO ALL YOUR HMWRK AND YOUL DO FINE. SHE GIVES ALOT OF EXAMPLEA AND THAT IS VERY HELPFUL. DON'T THINK TWICE TAKE HER SHE IS 1 OF THE 3 BEST MATH TEACHERS. IF YOUR BAD IN MATH TAKE HER OR HER HUSBAND!!!!! BIG TIME!!!
First teacher I've ever took at SWC few years back. A really good teacher and cares about her students success. Just study and do the homework; really friendly.
Very good teacher, very organized in her lectures. She teaches in the easier way, and have more than one method to do problems or whatever.
I took her on summer, and it was such an easy class. She covers her matearial in a way everybody could understand it. She assigns you homework from each chapter. Just be on class everyday and you will pass the class. she such an azazing tacher
she will put you to sleep. Never take her night classes.
She is really clear when she explains the work. she gives example of every possible way on how to answer a problem. Her test are straight forward.
Math isn't my thing, but she teaches very well. I actually learned and passed.
She was very unclear when it came to teaching. She taught as if she was teaching a classroom full of math professors. She pick favorites in the class, and had an unfair grading system. If you want to pass this class...you must be a genious and do ALL of the homework.

Shelia and Andrew Medin are the best, HOTTEST teachers on our campus. They are so clear you don't NEED to ask questions. Never haveI come across teachers who could break down formulas the way they do. They both have a gift not just expertise. If you do not choose one of the Medin's you will be doing yourself an injustice.
this teacher is great. explain ever thing well. just do the homework and come to class and you will do good. she is the best teacher math in southwestern college. explain the problems well. if have a hard trouble in math you should take her.
she is a very good teacher..I never understood math in my life before and i finally get it..i learned more in her 7 week class than my whole 4 years of highschool..take her..you;ll learn just do the work and dont slack off!..
She is really great, she gives good notes, good examples and the tests are fairly easy as long as you pay attention to what she is saying in class. funny, easy, laid back teacher, you'll love her!
i took her a while back for math 45. i regret not taking her for math 65. i havent had a prof teach nearly as clear as she had for me. ive gone through 2 others and they werent as good as medin. shes a great teacher that makes sure you understand. its pretty much how much effort you put into the homework that will decide you outcome. shes good.
The best math teacher that I have ever had. She teaches in a very professional manner. She knows what she is talking about and if you have questions she answers and explains very efficiently. She uses her time wisely and is fair in her grading.
AMAZING TEACHER!!!!!!!! One of the best teachers I have ever had. She is fun and personable, and she really knows her stuff. She makes sure that everyone in the class really understands. I wish she taught higher math classes so I could take her again. I would recommend her to anyone!
Sherooq, or sheila is by far one of the best teachers at SWC. She has a great teaching style and is always there to help all students. If you need Math 45 or 65, TAKE HER!
She's great! Enough said!Thanks Mrs. Medin, you made a difference...
Sheila is excellent and very clear in presentation. She gives homework, quizzes and plenty of practice in class. She is fun and cares about her students. Anyone can approach her. She is an awesome instructor!!
Miss Medin is a great teacher, I just wished I had her before, I wouldn´t have had such a frustrating last semester. She is funny, available and genuinely interested in her students´ progress. I love her class. Take her if you can for 65 she is GRRRRREEEEEAAAATTTTT!

Sheila is very good!She knows everything about math, she taught me shortcuts that I never thought existed.There are 4 exams, 10 quizzes (1 for every chapter).You don't need a text book in her class she did a copy right with the author, so the "note book" for her class has everything you need to know.It was $65 when I bought it.She drops 1exam 2quiz
She's easy and very clear. she's helpful and very nice. Her test are easy and she prepares you for them well, but its on your study habits if you will do good or not.
Very nice, funny teacher. Lots of note taking and no textbook to help with when you are stuck! Online homework and quiz sucks because she shows you how to do it one way and they show it to you another way. I was so confused! Great teacher if you love math and can absorb it!
Sheila is the BEST math teacher at SWC. She is very clear and helpful. She is very nice and understanding. Take her class, do your homework,pay attention and you will get an A.
she's very helpful to those who try to help themselves.
Shiela is one of the best math teachers I've had! She's extremely helpful and very nice. You can tell that she actually cares whether you pass or not! I definitely encourage you to take her class!
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD, I GOT AN A♥ IN A SUBJECT WHERE I SUCK.BUT THANKS TO HER I UNDERTOOD EVERYTHING.
mrs. medin was cool and everything was nice and clear, i took her for summer and she really helped a lot i would recomend her, it went pretty fast in the summer! but a great teacher!
Awsome TEACHER. I took a few years break from school. I only wish she had been around when I was terrified of math - she made it so easy!
OMG this woman is an ANGEL. She is very patient with the class and teaches the subject with step by step precision.(Even if you think you know it). I suck in math and I got a B in her class. Very fun.
Excellent professor. I'm horrible in math and she explains it in a way that makes it clear. I wish she would teach math 110, 111 since all the teachers that teach those courses are horrible. Take Ms. Medin she's awesome!
she is very scary and doesn't answer questions were u understand them. very organized, very funny! teaches well if you catch on quick.uses math xl and scientific calculater throughout whole semester, get familiar with this program, its a must!!! very pretty, and make sure never to miss a class because you will get lost.I would take her class again
Best math teacher ever!! She thoroughly explains everything and waits until the whole class understands it before she moves on. I wish she would teach higher levels of math! I got an A, which isn't hard to do. Plus, she's a total hottie and funny!! Best body on campus by far!! Would love some private math tutoring from her ;P
Sheila is a great teacher. Her methods worked great for me. She has a binder that you will use the whole semester (which I used alot for reference at home when I didnt understand)She also uses mathxl, I liked this better than the textbook. Shes a great teacher, I passed her class and Im really bad at math! I don't know what I'm going to do without
Awesome teacher!!! Explains everything extremely well and if you need any clarification she is willing to spend time explaining it until you understand it. All homework is done online but she gives you like 2 or 3 weeks to finish it.
this is a alright professor. she is nice and teaches average at the best.she is kind of a cute professor
SHEILA IS THE BEST!!! MATH GOD!EXPLAINS SUPER WELL AND HER EXAMS ARE EASYY!! TAKE HER TAKER YOU WONT REGRET IT :)
wonderful teacher! take her i promise youll pass! I never understood math untill she came into my life!!! do the hwk and it will change your life!
Take HOLLY BASS enough said!
Sheila is absolutely awesome!!! she's funny and charming. shes takes the time to explain something if your not understanding. its very easy to pass the class if you apply yourself! i would highly recommend you to take her class if your struggling in math. she will definitely help you to pass. Shes the best math teacher ive ever had at swc. She rock
Best Math prof ever!! Sheila is absolutely wonderful & charming! She takes her time to explain things step by step and cares for her students! She uses MATH XL and custom Math Notes that can be purchased at Otay Books across from the Main SWC campus (no text required). Just come to class everyday, pay attention, do work, and overall apply urself!!!
This teacher loves math and loves people. She is easy to talk to and her instructions are clear. She has no problem helping students and I get the feeling she wants us to get it right. I could have done better if I had completed all assignments.
Great professor very helphul really cares about students instructions and examples are very clear.
I loved the way Professor Medin taught. She made things understandable. She made the class fun with silly comments/examples. I like how her book had some basics in front to refer to.
She teaches very well. Super easy class. She is a must for math!
i never understood math before her class. i now can say i am way more comfortable with math, she is a must! she wants her students to succeed and will answer any questions. take her!!!
i hated math going into this class but now i don't mind it at all. i'm a lot more comfortable with math now and all take as many class with her as i can. highly recommend!! if math isn't your thing, she'll change your mind! really wants students to succeed
Ive never been good at math,But she made it so easy to understand. That I got an A in her class. If math is not your best subject I would really recommend you take her class.
Her teaching skills are very good. She breaks things down so you can understand and does not rush threw the material. you do not need a "textbook" for her class but she made a binder of notes you need.. for purchase and is very useful. If your math is not your strong subject take her class...
Great teacher ! So patient and is VERY flexible on class attendance. She lets you make up absences if you go to other classes. Great pre-printed notes too! Made me love math :) Thank u !
Love her !! made me fall in love with math took her for 45 & 60 one of the best math teachers at SWC hands down !
Sheila can be somewhat helpful but she is so rude!! Doesn't give you the liberty to ask questions. I hate math and she didn't help at all. If you struggle with math like I do, DO NOT take her.
Wonderful Professor. Took the compressed summer session which makes the course more challenging, but was able to keep up and understand the concepts thanks to Sheila's knowledge and teaching expertise. (She's a very patient and caring instructor.) Used Math XL, and a course binder (she authored) rather than an expensive textbook.
This class alone is easy, but she especially makes it easy because she repeats herself so much that you cannot forget any informationlessons. There's only 5 tests, which can easily be passed if you do well on your online hw and quiz! She's a bit sarcastic when answering people's questions, but don't be intimidated! She will help you.
Every once in a while you'll come across a professor that is just meant to teach, Sheila Medin is one of them. Math comes natural to her and she takes multiple approaches to the material so that everyone understands. She is very attentive and straightforward. Thanks to her I not only understood the material, I truly began to enjoy math. SWC's best.
Good lecturer, clear expectations, and works with you when life happens (like if your wife gets pregnant in the middle of the semester and her ultrasound is scheduled for test day and you're going to be late.) Only down side is that she requires homework be 80% done before you can take a quiz, which can be troublesome if you're facing a deadline.
She's one of the best teacher I had in math 45. For her class, it would only require to buy mathxl code and the binder book that you can buy across the street because she uses that as her notes in the class.
Sheila is an amazing teacher. She goes above and beyond for her students. You will start to love Math after taking her class.
Sheila is a great instructor! I hadn't take a math course in five years and she made it seem like I was doing math just the night before. She's easy to understand despite her accent. She makes it a point to know her students' names and she's a stickler for attendance. You don't need the book, just a math note binder sold at Otay Books & MathXL.
I'm taking Sheila's Math 45 and I am so sad she's not teaching Math 60 for the summer. She is such an awesome professor, I'm literally so sad I won't be seeing her after the term is over :( TAKE HER CLASSES SHE'S AMAZING
Such an amazing professor! She really knows how to break things down so you truly understand the concepts and when to use them! I have taken (and failed) many math classes in my day and hers was the first class I have taken that I never once felt totally lost. She also doesn't have you buy a book, just the online code which is much cheaper!
SHE IS A GREAT !!!! HOME WORK AND QUIZEZ ONLINE(MATH XL ) ONLY BAD THING ABOUT HER THAT GETS MAD WHEN YOU ASK QUESTIONS BUT SHE EXPLAINS VERY GOOD
Amazing prof!!! Breaks everything down, easy to understand, and I have never been lost in class. Homework is average for a math class... quizzes and exams are very straight forward. If she teaches more than one of the same class, let's you go to different class times if needed. TAKE HER CLASSES.
Really good teacher she makes things easier to understand, clear and at times funny..
Professor Medin is awesome. She cares about students and lectures well. Study for test and pay attention and you will be good to go. The best part of class was when she would step outside to yell at the crow that would regularly squack during lecture. Also, shes beautiful :).
Prof Medin teaches quickly. One or two chapters she covers over and over but you need to be a quick learner. She gives you an opportunity to pass her class that is for sure! Beware of questions if you can't take a little lash back. I think shes the greatest though not everyone can keep up or tolerate. You can pass her class and that counts. Mathxl
Sheila is great! I've always struggled with math, but she breaks down the concepts and repeats them over the entire semester to help reinforce them. Homework in MathXL and she creates a binder for us to use instead of a book ($55 Otay Books). She speaks and works quickly, but she's accurate and concise. Show up and do the work, you'll pass!
this professor is tough, strict, she doesn't treat everyone equally. However, if you do not skip classes, work really hard, do all the homework, pay close attention to the class, don't make questions, and take all the test and quizzes you'll be fine.
Mrs. Medin is by far the best Math professor I've taken. I took this course at City college several times and did not pass it. I took this class on the summer and yes it was a lot of hw and it was fast but I learned a lot. She was so nice I wanted to hug her however she is a tough grader and very strict but nothing out of the ordinary. Love her!
This professor is great. Amazing personality helps you if you ask. Test and quizzes are hard if you don't study. Excellent professor.
I have no clue where to start. if you are someone who struggles with math DO NOT take her. she is not available outside of class at all. she gets mad if you ask questions. easily irritated, most of the time when students would ask her questions she would answer and not even make eye contact with you. she is super rude. I would not recommend her.
Disrespectful, rude, she has "attitude" most of the time, the online tool she uses for hw is pretty confusing some times and she does not care about it. Lost of homework and quizzes and tests which is good, but her bad attitude kills your spirit.
I am not good in math. But her teaching made me understand math faster. Her class is never boring time passes by fast because she is always lecturing, reviewing and doing math problems. ALWAYS go to class, you'll be lost if you miss one class since she covers a lot. we used MATH XL, los of homework. She is an amazing teacher.
Math is hard but professor medin explains in detail to make it easier. Provides study guides which are so helpful. She shows you how to even use the calculator correctly, makes a differnce. arrives to class 30 min early for students who have questions. She provides extra credit if you dont miss. I enjoyed her class even though I hate math.
Her teaching style is AMAZING, she's very clear on her lectures. She has clear objectives for her lessons. Also engages students in learning. She thought us strategies that made approaching any math problem fun, and easy.
Professor Medin is so AMAZING!! She is such an awesome teacher. Don't get me wrong you have a lot of homework but in the end you will understand the material!! I would love to take her in future class.
The class started with more than 30 students and end with 15. The class isn't difficult. She explains clearly and give examples. If you put attention to the class and do some exercises in the MathXL, you will get >90 in the test. Homework worth 15%, so you can skip if you get tired (too much). She give an extra 10% for your carpet that do in class.
Shes amazing!!! I love her class Im going to take Math 60 with her during Summer Best professor ever !!! Easy to understand and she cares a lot for her students!!
She was great! She made sure the lectures were understood before moving on. She can teach a little fast but has no issue slowing down if you ask. Overall shes the best professor Ive had.
Ms. Sheila is an AMAZING teacher! Ive always struggled with math. I had to retake this course for the 3rd time because it was such a difficult subject for me. She was clear and had a steady pace with each problem she did. Make sure you study her study guides because they make each exam so much easier!! Ms. Sheila if your reading this.. thank you!
Professor Medin is amazing! I was always lacking in math but Professor Medin knows exactly how to explain and show you how it is done in order for it to really click. She is the best math teacher I have EVER had and I 100% recommend her if you need someone who will take the time to make sure you know the material. Great job!!
Professor Medin is extremely nice and cares for her students success in her class. There were quizzes and homework given on MyLabMath. I took her course during the spring 2020 semester before everything was switched online and despite switching online, I was still able understand the material well. I would definitely recommended taking her.
The term teacher doesn't apply here, "they" simply assign work and that's it. As a special needs student, "they" gave me no assistance whatsoever, and was not willing to accommodate in the slightest. When asked for help, this professor did not have any common decency when responding and was extremely rude and unprofessional. Would never take again.
Sherooq Medin is a terrible professor! I am a disabled student and I couldn't get any help logging into the math lab. I'm not sure why she calls herself Sheila, when her name is actually Sherooq. Not only did she NOT help me, she actually wrote me a nasty message and dropped me without asking me if I needed help. Burned out professor.
The way this class was organized was so stressful, this was practically a self-taught class. It felt like this professor didn't care to see her students succeed.
